About This Activity

Wear Yellow Nebraska will be hosting the 10th Annual Wear Yellow Ride on Saturday, May 18, 2013. The theme for this year's 10th Annual ride reflects the support that each cyclist will give to our Wear Yellow Cab Ride Program. The fee for each rider on the Wear Yellow Ride will support one cab ride for a cancer patient who may not have adequate transportation to get to their treatments. Wear Yellow Nebraska will be hosting the 10th Annual Wear Yellow Ride on Saturday, May 18, 2013 at the Strategic Air & Space Museum, Ashland, Nebraska. The bike tour aims to raise funds and awareness for Wear Yellow Nebraska which is a local grassroots organization fighting against cancer through advocacy, awareness and fundraising.
